Sierra Entertainment today announced that the Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy video game will street in North America on June 3, 2008 for both the Xbox and PS3. The game will sport a unique combat system that really brings Jason Bourne’s technically masterful combat style to life. According to Sierra Entertainment, the fighting is realized by mixing of hand-to-hand segments with gunplay and dramatic on-foot escapes. To further enhance the gameplay there will also be epic car chase portions that simulates the predator-prey feel of the books and the movies. Jason Bourne certainly is the perfect weapon and we can’t wait to get our hands on the title. Check back for a full review in early June. Here are some highlights from the Sierra press release:
Through close partnership with Ludlum Entertainment, and collaboration on story and character development with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, The Bourne Conspiracy is an intense interactive addition to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels. The game delivers an original story uncovering Jason Bourne’s past and the conspiracy shrouding his origins, plunging players into the role of Bourne as both trained assassin and marked government agent. Core to the experience is Bourne’s definition as a perfect weapon with heightened combat instinct, where players use Bourne’s characteristic capabilities to recognise threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use his surrounding environment to overcome deadly situations. Developed by High Moon Studios and based around a combat system co-designed by Jeff Imada, the renowned choreographer who defined Bourne-style combat in the films, The Bourne Conspiracy delivers gamers every signature Jason Bourne element, from hand-to-hand fighting to shooting to escape and evasion. Framing the experience is a relentless pace of action and an in-game camera system that captures the cinematography techniques that established the memorable visual style of the films.
Capturing the intense high-speed pursuit based on the memorable car chase from The Bourne Identity, players will take the wheel in an upgraded version of Marie’s red MINI COOPER trying to evade seemingly every police car in Paris. Arcade racing-style game play and destructive stunt setups combine with Bourne instinct-based game mechanics to create a previously unseen and unforgettable action driving experience. |
